Chapter 584: Lin Xuan Succeeds! Obtains the Fire Dragon Pearl!
Just as everyone thought failure was inevitable, Lin Xuan made a second move. The people all around were stunned.
"That Young Master Lin is making another move? Does he have another trump card up his sleeve?"
It’s possible. Maybe he also has a Blazing Pill, or perhaps he has mastered a second type of flame.
If he combined an Anomalous Fire with a hidden ace, he might actually be able to light up 1,000 Dragon Scales. Thinking of this, everyone grew expectant.
"Impossible," You Ruo stated flatly, shattering their fantasies. She said coldly, "The Blazing Pill is extremely precious. The pill recipe is a secret held only by our Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance; no one else can possibly refine it. How could that brat possibly possess a Blazing Pill?"
Hearing this, everyone was greatly disappointed. Still, they refused to give up hope. What if Lin Xuan has a second flame?
"That’s also impossible." This time, it was the Tower Master who spoke. He shook his head and said, "The Anomalous Fire is the King of Ten Thousand Flames. It will not fuse with other flames. In other words, once a person masters an Anomalous Fire, it’s impossible for them to master a second type of flame."
The crowd was thoroughly dejected. It seemed Lin Xuan had no chance for a comeback. He couldn’t possibly succeed, which made any further attempts meaningless.
You Ruo declared, "I told you so. So many Nine-Star Grandmasters have failed. How could that brat possibly succeed?"
Huo Yuner also sneered, "No matter how many times he tries, he will never succeed."
Amidst the sighs of disappointment, the projection of light up front shifted once more.
"HOLY CRAP, LIN XUAN MADE HIS MOVE!"
"He has a second flame in his hand!"
"HOLY CRAP, HE LIT UP 1,000 DRAGON SCALES!"
"HOLY CRAP, THE FIRE DRAGON ILLUSION APPEARED!"
"Oh my god!"
"Am I hallucinating?"
"What am I seeing?!"
You Ruo was dumbfounded.
Huo Yuner was dumbfounded.
The Tower Master was dumbfounded!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Who said Lin Xuan couldn’t succeed? Who said Lin Xuan couldn’t have a second flame? Lin Xuan did, in fact, produce a second flame! He lit up 1,000 Dragon Scales! He had succeeded! He had done it!
"Hahahaha, he did it!"
"Young Master Lin, he did it!"
The members of the Rising Sun Alchemy Alliance jumped up in excitement, and Wan Er screamed with joy.
The people from the Fire Dragon Sect were so frustrated they could have spat blood. The Nine Nether Alchemy Alliance was deathly silent. You Ruo and Huo Yuner were utterly humiliated.
The Pill Tower was also in a state of shock. The Tower Master gave a bitter smile. I completely misjudged him. But how is this possible? Logically, Lin Xuan shouldn’t have been able to master a second flame. How on earth did this little guy do it? I must ask him for the details when he comes out.
Then, they witnessed the most shocking scene of all. The Fire Dragon personally handed the Fire Dragon Pearl to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan had obtained the Fire Dragon Pearl!
This kid really did it! Heavens, this is unbelievable!
The crowd exclaimed again and again, the sounds of their shock shaking the nine heavens.
「Inside the Treasure Tower, on the sixth floor.」
Lin Xuan held the Fire Dragon Pearl, his face filled with excitement. Not far away, the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun and the others were staring in shock. A fierce, murderous intent glinted in Situ Hang’s eyes.
I must obtain the Fire Dragon Pearl. If I can’t get it nicely, I’ll snatch it. With this thought, he no longer hesitated. His figure flickered, and he shot forward like a lightning bolt, intent on seizing the Fire Dragon Pearl.
Situ Hang’s speed was incredible. In an instant, he was in front of Lin Xuan, striking down with his palm. The attack carried astonishing power, completely enveloping Lin Xuan.
"Stop!" the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun roared, his expression changing drastically. But it was too late.
It’s over. The Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun’s heart sank. With Lin Xuan’s strength, there was no way he could block that palm strike. He would likely be annihilated.
A loud bang echoed as the void trembled, but the expected spray of blood mist never appeared. The palm had hit empty air.
How is this possible? Situ Hang was bewildered. The Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun was also stunned.
Just then, Lin Xuan’s figure reappeared in the distant void, his expression grim. He had almost been successfully ambushed. Fortunately, he knew the Minor Void Technique. At the critical moment, he had used the Minor Void Technique to dodge the strike.
He’s not dead? Situ Hang saw Lin Xuan in the distance and was equally shocked. How did this kid evade my attack?
Situ Hang fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Kid, hand over the Fire Dragon Pearl, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"In your dreams!" Lin Xuan snorted, putting away the Fire Dragon Pearl in front of everyone.
"You’re courting death!" Enraged, Situ Hang attacked again. He refused to believe his opponent could dodge a second time.
Just as he struck, the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun also made his move. His figure blurred as he appeared in front of Lin Xuan, throwing a punch that intercepted Situ Hang’s palm.
Their fist and palm collided with a thunderous boom, unleashing a terrifying storm that swept across the area.
"Situ Hang, what do you think you’re doing?" the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun shouted coldly.
Seething with killing intent, Situ Hang stared at him. "What is the meaning of this? He’s not a member of your Rising Sun Alchemy Alliance, so why are you saving him? I suggest you leave now, or don’t blame me for being unkind."
"Young Master Lin is a benefactor of our Rising Sun Alchemy Alliance. I will not allow you to harm him," the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun stated coldly.
Previously, Lin Xuan had been a great help to their Rising Sun Alchemy Alliance. Furthermore, possessing two Anomalous Fires made him an unparalleled genius. The Alliance Leader naturally wanted to curry favor with such a talent and would not permit anyone to harm him.
"If you want to touch Young Master Lin, you’ll have to get through me first," the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun declared loudly.
Seeing that the Alliance Leader was not backing down, Situ Hang gnashed his teeth in anger. However, he didn’t press the attack; he knew defeating the Alliance Leader would not be easy. He turned to Qingyou, who was standing nearby, and said coldly, "How about you and I join forces to take down this kid?"
Qingyou had still been reeling from the shock of Situ Hang’s sudden attack. Hearing the proposal, he didn’t act immediately. Instead, he said, "Joining forces... that’s not impossible. But after we eliminate this kid, how do we split the Dragon Pearl? There is, after all, only one."
Situ Hang laughed. "What? Are you only interested in the Dragon Pearl? Not the Anomalous Fires? This kid has two of them. If you could obtain one, your power would advance by leaps and bounds. Becoming a Pill King would be just around the corner."
At these words, Qingyou’s eyebrows shot up, and a greedy glint appeared in his eyes. If he could truly obtain an Anomalous Fire, he would certainly soar to new heights. Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer.
He looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Kid, obediently accept your death."
This was the same Lin Xuan who had surpassed him in alchemy, a fact that had left Qingyou grinding his teeth in resentment. Now that he had an opportunity for revenge, he certainly wouldn’t be merciful. I will eliminate this kid!
The two joined forces and began advancing toward Lin Xuan.
This is bad. The Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun’s face turned extremely grim. He could handle Situ Hang alone, but with Qingyou added to the mix, he was outmatched. After all, both of their strengths were comparable to his own; he didn’t have the ability to fight two such opponents at once.
"Young Master Lin, I am no match for them if they join forces," he said urgently. "I can only block them for a few moves. You’d better use this chance to escape."
"Escape? There’s no need," Lin Xuan replied, shaking his head.
Since these two fools are seeking death, I will oblige them. I’ll use the Snake King’s power to freeze them solid.
He’s not leaving? The Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun was baffled, stamping his foot in anxiety. What is wrong with Lin Xuan? Does he plan to stay here and die?
He was about to try persuading him again, but at that moment, the Fire Dragon Illusion that had been circling in the sky spoke once more.
"Little one, I can suppress their power, forcing them to fight you at the same cultivation realm. Consider this a form of training for you."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan was stunned, but the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun was overjoyed. If the Fire Dragon could suppress their cultivation, that would be perfect. He saw a glimmer of hope.
He said to Lin Xuan, "Young Master Lin, quickly have them suppressed to the Two-Star Grandmaster realm!"
"Two-Star Grandmaster?" Lin Xuan shook his head. "Suppressing them to the Two-Star Grandmaster realm would be too boring. Just suppress them to the Eight-Star Grandmaster realm. That will be enough for me to handle."
"To the Eight-Star realm? Are you sure? That means you’ll be fighting across a gap of seven levels. Can you manage that?" the Fire Dragon asked. "You should think this through. I will only help you once."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Suppressing them to the Eight-Star realm is sufficient."
With his current physique and strength, he was invincible among Eight-Star opponents. If these two old fools were suppressed to that realm, Lin Xuan was fully confident he could handle them.
The Fire Dragon said no more. It released its draconic might, which instantly enveloped the entire area. Situ Hang and Qingyou felt their bodies tremble. In the next moment, their cultivation realms plummeted to that of an Eight-Star Grandmaster.
How can this be?! They were aghast. Their cultivation had truly been suppressed! This ability was terrifying.
Nearby, the Alliance Leader of the Rising Sun was also suppressed, his cultivation dropping to the Eight-Star realm. Beyond his shock, he began to complain bitterly.
Young Master Lin, why only suppress them to the Eight-Star realm? Even if they drop to the Eight-Star realm, you’re still no match for them!
